Speeding Can Increase the Risk of a Traffic Accident
While exceeding posted speed limits may not be the action that directly causes a traffic accident, it can play a large role in increasing the risk for one. In many cases, speeding drivers make other mistakes behind the wheel because they have less time to react. This means there is less time to stop at a red light, slow down for stopped traffic, navigate a curve, or react to a deer crossing the road, for example.
Georgia law takes excessive speeding seriously. According to the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS), the state has a “Super Speeder Law” that dramatically increases the fees related to a speeding ticket when drivers are in excess of:
- 75 miles per hour on a two-lane road
- 85 miles per hour or higher on highways, interstates, or any other roads
However, this law does not always keep drivers at an acceptable speed. Many still exceed posted speed limits regularly. If one of these drivers caused your Roswell car accident, you may be able to build a case to hold them responsible. To learn more, call Bader Scott Injury Lawyers at (404) 888-8888 today. Our team will review your case at no cost to you.

Our Team May Be Able to File a Claim Based on Your Car Accident Case
A Roswell exceeding posted speed limit accident lawyer from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers may be able to file an insurance claim and seek a payout for you. We can investigate your accident to demonstrate negligence and fault and document your damages. Then, we can demand a just payout from the other driver’s insurance company.
In some cases, you may have been exceeding the posted speed limits at the time of your accident, but the other driver did something that directly caused the crash. For example, imagine you were driving slightly over the speed limit, but a driver failed to yield at a green light and turned left in front of you. You hit them, but you also have the right of way.
When this occurs, Georgia’s comparative negligence laws come into play. These laws stipulate that you can still recover a payout for your injuries and losses as long as the other driver carries most of the liability in the accident. However, your payout may be reduced by your percentage of the liability.
If we cannot recover a fair settlement for you out of court, the team from Bader Scott Injury Lawyers can file a personal injury lawsuit and take your case to trial.
